Account and API key
How do I get started?
Sign up or sign in, then open Console. Top up your balance in Billing and create a key in API Keys. Follow the Quick Start.What key settings are available?
Select a name, Service Mode Performance / Economy / Dedicated, expiration 30/60/90 days or never, and an optional monthly limit. The default is Performance and 30 days. No scope. The key management API supports additional periods; see Authentication.How are secrets stored?
The secret appears once; the server stores the SHA-256 hash. Store it in the server environment. Keys can be edited, enabled/disabled, and deleted. Replace the key if the secret is lost or leaked.Are passkeys and 2FA available?
Yes. Settings → Security provides WebAuthn passkeys, TOTP authenticators, and recovery codes via Keycloak.Balance and payments
How does the USD balance work?
The customer balance is denominated directly in USD and used by associated keys. It can only be used for Hostlinku services and is not cash that can be freely spent. Refunds are subject to the Refund Policy.How do I top up?
Go to Billing, select the amount and payment method. Card/wallet payments (Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay) use Waffo; QRIS/VA payments use iPaymu; crypto payments use Heleket hosted. The amount, bonus, exchange rate, fees, and deadline are displayed before payment. The USD balance is updated after verification. View Billing & Balance.Where are the costs and invoices?
Logs display request costs, Analytics show usage summaries, and Billing lists transactions and invoices. Non-streaming chat includeshostlinku.cost; for SSE, check the final cost upon completion. Missing usage can be estimated.
Invoices can be printed or saved as PDFs via the browser. Billing Profiles are stored locally in the Console browser, so Console printouts may differ from invoices generated by Pay or other devices.
Is there an auto-recharge feature or low-balance email?
Not yet available on active Billing. Monitor your balance and top up before production use. Adding funds does not increase the key limit.Error and privacy
